My friends are sending me compliments and congratulations, and I am proud to represent Pomona High School, the city of Pomona and Los Angeles county.

Being a champion gives one a feeling of self-confidence and accomplishment However, there is an old proverb I like to remember: You can do nothing so well but that someone else can do it a little "I'd like to acknowledge the ability of the other girls who tried so hard to win. I found our county competition every bit as hard as that in Salinas. I'm sure all of the girls would place very well up there. "Los Angeles county can be very proud io have so many girls worthy of the title of California's most outstanding outdoor high school girl. I sincerely hope that I can bring the title to Los Angeles county this year." SCANDAL People just won't let Pomona forget about it's major scandal of recent years.

Here's the answer of Roy Driscoll, subject of the experiment: "Dear Ed: You want an outline of America's greatest county fair in seventy-five words. All right, here's my bid for immortality as a wonder worker: "A backslider remarked to the exhorting parson that heaven couldn't be so much for it isn't represented at Los Angeles County Fair at Pomona while everything under it is. "Need I say more except to remind the 630,000 persons who attended last fall and the who will be there this fall that the dates are September 16 to October 2, that $1,000,000 js being spent in new buildings and improvements and that, in addition to the 30,000 exhibits, the Percheron Horse Association of America will hold its annual show at the exposition.
